Buffalo vs. Oakland
Buffalo comes-a-calling with a 3-3 record, hoping to lift themselves to the top of their division by trouncing the 'Blind-leading-the-blind' Raiders. Unfortunately, it's a big possibility. I've never seen the Raiders this terrible in over 20 years. Yet, with a 1-4 record, they can actually come out of this with a winning season. Norv is calling this game a "Must win". Uhhh, Norvy, EVERY GAME IS A MUST WIN.
With the exception of the Chargers game, the Raiders have played their opponents pretty close, only to lose at their own doing. It's like they get to a point to really make a difference then a severe brain fart hits the whole team and they instantly reak of mental retardation, resulting in stupid penalties, Kerry throwing to......the other guys, fumbles...etc. You get the picture, right? If they excrete their gas before hitting the field, get into the game and stay there the whole game we can win this one.
Randy Moss is out for this game, maybe the rest of the season. Which is ok with me anyway. Kerry Collins is still starting QB and Norv is still head coach. I've always heard that if nothing changes, nothing changes. If we keep losing, we need to look at the 'whys'. Let's do some math real quick here: Offensive offense + Ineffective Defense = Losing Team. Real simple, right?
Why are the Colts undefeated at this point? They've made some drastic adjustments. Why are the Bills movin up? They've replaced QB's. (For the time being anyway) For the Raiders to start winning, they need a good wakeup call. Start replacing EVERYBODY! Get the younger, faster and stronger players and after just one season, you'll have a championship team. Get a coach that believes in the concept of 'Commitment To Excellence' and it can happen faster and last longer.
Does Al Davis have some sort of sentimental value in keeping the people he has or is this team just turning into some sort of tax write off for him? Only he knows that answer, if he has one. The Raiders can win this game IF they do their jobs, play like they want to win and keep the brain farts away. I hope they win but I can't call this one cause I feel it can go either way. Buffalo is coming to play and win. Will the Raiders be ready? Will they answer the call? One can onlyhope.
